Hello Sirs/Ma'am,
Is there a way to flash Pocophone F1 without unlocking bootloader? My phone's update was interrupted and sent to Xiaomi Service Centers but they said it was hopeless unless they change it's motherboard.
My phone is now in bootloop and shows only whitescreen, I can only access the boot options (accessible by keys)
Tried flashing it but all tutorials I encounter requires me to unlock the bootloader. Tried unlocking it but I get the error "Current account is not bound to this device", I tried every account I had but It all didn't work.

Hi Im sorry forgot to mention my phone was in Bootloop Updated the thread
I think there is no other way to flash poco f1 without unlocking the bootloader. if you are flashing different ROM. but if not. try the flashing guide of using MiFlash tool there is instruction on how to flash using MiFlash.
back in old days by entrying in to EDL (redmi3s) you could replace boot.img (stock) with boot.img (twrp) in the extract .tgz file (3gb)
redmi3s goes to edl by pressing all 3 buttons 30 seconds
once you have twrp on locked bootloader you could flash other roms! since stock recovery is replaced
however later they made edl hard by short circuit test point method where back cover must be removed and two certain points to be touched by wire of motherboard and connecting usb wire to pc SIMULTAINEOUSLY
this method is valid till now! if you remove poco back panel it can go in to edl
but now flashing EDL requires AUTHORIZED account in Xiaomi flasher so its not possible anymore!
But this tool requires that ADB is enabled in developer options... If the phone is completely bricked or screen cracked... There is no way for me to enable it.
This is the reason I made this post.

Hi everyone,
This is starting to really do my head in, considering I unlocked, flashed and rooted Redmi 3S on first try and in a few minutes.
I managed to unlock bootloader of Redmi Note 4 SD after finally installing correctly usb fastboot drivers (using MiFlash). I flashed TWRP 3.2.2.0, flashed OPT patch and SuperSU, and got a TWRP bootloop (phone always booted into TWRP).
Using MiFlash, I flashed Global Dev Rom and then phone updated by ota to latest 7.6.29. HOWEVER, stupid of me, I flashed rom with option checked of Clean All and Lock, accidentally locking bootloader again.
I try to unlock phone again with Mi Unlock Tool, log into my account succesfully and Tool doesn´t detect phone. Drivers are installed but Tool says Phone Not Detected. I unplug and plug usb cable to all ports and nothing.
However if I use older version of Mi Unlock Tool 1. 1, it detects phone but when I unlock ,it stops at 50% saying Couldn´t Verify Device. Account is bound to phone and I´m logging in with correct details.
Does one need to apply to Xiaomi again for a second unlock?? Driver problem? Account problem?
Anyone have any ideas? I would like to flash TWRP and root phone to be able to fix once and for all that FRIGGIN audio mic noise cancellation when recording videos, seeing as Devs don´t develop a rom with that huge bug patched.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Cheers!!
Did you try it? https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/how-to/bootloader-unlock-variants-to-read-t3565459 Read also second post, you should turn on oem unlock, and one apply for one phone.
Thanks buddy, tried all that, but I have posted in that specific bootloader thread to see if someone has an answer.
Cheers friend!
Hello guys,it's been 3 days since I applied for unlocking my RN4 and even after getting permission I wasn't able to unlock it
Last night I got frustrated and started looking for any unofficial trick like RN3 has.... What they do is put their device in edl mode and flash a moded apps boot.mbn file and then on fastboot they execute the unlock boatloader command like fastboot OEM unlock and get a working unlocked bootloader for their device.....
I used to work as a professional DRS -digital repair specialist in reliance Jio so there we. Had a water 2 named mobile which can't be fixed after soft brick as it had the edl mode via any cable or any other process so when I opened the handset I saw those dot pinouts and tried to short them one by one and finally I got it to boot in edl mode and then flash it with qfil.....
Same as that phone... This RN4 also had those pin outs, so I opened the back and started shorting pin outs while battery was unplugged and hey yehh that let my phone in edl mode huhu ... I was happy and to test if it works or not... I got a global fastboot ROM and I wasn't able to flash it before edl via fastboot but now.... When I fired up mi flash... Set directory I was able to get it in working state (yes soft brick RN4 got life)
Than I got a twrp recovery and renamed it to recovery. IMG and put it inside of mido(RN4) flashing folder and flashed it .... But sadly even after it got flashed via mi flash I saw stock recovery...
So here I am asking for a file to get our bootloader unlocked which is emmc_appsboot.mbn
I'll upload the original file and it will be glad if some one will help me to modify that mbm file to make it unlock via fastboot.........
Let's see if people dev. Will help me or not..
Or even if some one will give me a already unlocked bootloader IMG or mbn file I'll proceed further... So plz do help me... We're soon close to get an unofficial bootloader for our beloved RN4..
You will be able to unlock 100% within 7 days... If you have a Current account is not bound to this device error

Hi Kevin!
7 days from when? Receiving the bootloader unlock permission, since our last try or what?

Knock knock.. 50-50.. It's sometimes from the day you had permissions from Xiaomi, sometimes it's from last try. BlameXiaomi
Unlocking bootloader is nightmare on Mi phones. I was trying to upgrade to MIUI 9 Developer ROM from my current stable and I have to unlock the bootloader to do so. It's crazy ! I didn't have to do that on Redmi Note 3. It was easy to switch between stable and developer roms from updater app.
Anyone has any idea how can I flash the latest developer build on my Redmi Note 4 with out unlocking bootloader?

Developer Build can be installed without unlocking bootloader from updater on Redmi Note 4 also.
Hello I have a redmi note 4x completely briked..the phone has the bootloader blocked, when I turn it on it restarts and never gets to load the system, I have already flash by testpoint many rom, Miui developer, Global Stable and still in the same, The phone in fastboot mode and Revory (the original of the phone) does not restart, and during the flash by testpoint it is also maintained and never disconnected, I say this because I have read some cases that this happens. At the beginning of the problem he always came to show the three points that he is loading MIUI but there is a reboot, this is not anymore the case, now it never comes, sometimes it stays on when I leave it for a long time restarting but stuck only on the logo MI .... someone knows how to solve this problem, I can not send it to any technical service or anything in my country that does not exist ... greetings
I'm no expert, but I would go online and unlock the bootloader. Then follow this: http://c.mi.com/thread-334-1-0.html There might be other ways, but this one will work, even if getting Xiaomi to unlock the bootloader takes time.
Unlock bootloader, it takes 3 days for Xiaomi to approve it. Install twrp recovery, wipe everything and install some aosp rom.

I can not do that the phone don't loader the OS..
Not sure but I think you should install adb and fastboot on pc and then Connect your phone then try "fastboot devices" and if it shows you some device, it means that your device is plugged in properly then try "fastboot oem unlocking" command this would unlock your bootloader, well the big problem is that all these commands are with respect to the Linux pc, there are something similar to do with windows and worse thing is that xiaomi have different method for unlocking the bootloader as shown in other post

Thanks for your answer, but for unlock the bootloader of a Xiaomi Phone you need first apply and ask permissions with a mi account , after that use a sofware name Mi Unlock with the account login on the phone and on the MI Unlock software. Is the only way in Xiaomi's Phone. The big problen here is I can't get into the Android System I can't put my account in the phone for unlock the bootloader.

I know that brother that's why I suggest you to use fastboot and adb as it works on some basic android phones and it is a kind of general method but I haven't tried it on mi phones

Have you tried any fastboot rom to unbrick your device, I have read your post where you have mentioned about flashing some ROMs but have not seen fastboot rom
you may use wipedata option in recovery mode, if you done have already backed up your data or you can sacrifise the data on phone,it will load the original recovery rom,than upgrade rom.....

Try flashing fastboot stock rom
I had same problem couple of days ago , i had custom rom installed on my redmi note 4 nd while i was reverting back to stock miui rom from my twrp backup i messed up nd ended up bricking my phone. I tried everything but gained nothing. In the end i tried flashing fastboot rom with mi flash tool and it worked. But i had my bootloaders unlock.dont know if it works with locked bootloader. I guess u should give a shot . Gud luck
Hello sir,
I recently flashed a custom rom using twrp and successfully done, but then i thought to re-lock bootloader,
So, i did that using command
"fastboot flash oem lock"
and my device get bricked, it said the system has been destroyed
And screen get stuck in fastboot
I tried again flash twrp but nothing happened,
I also tried to flash by MiFlash tool but nothing happened,
Pls solve my problem
That's not a soft brick. That's a truly proper bricked device.
To relock a bootloader you must be 100% pure stock with no modifications whatsoever.
You can't relock a bootloader if you have a custom ROM installed.
The fact you locked the bootloader now opens up a lot of issues for you and the only way to recover is flashing in edl mode with a verified mi account.
In other words your going to have to look for someone with a verified account and give them remote access to your pc and probably have to pay them to get your device up and going again.
If you have a service centre near where you are you can try there but a person with a verified account is what you need.
Also you can't ask anyone here for it because paid services are against forum rules.
Always read up on stuff before attempting anything on your device.

If it hardbricked, then there will flash all the system via edl mode, all the data will be gone, but i don't know if the bootloader get lock again or not..anyway, unlocked bootloader not a big issue i think
Maybe interesting for this topic:
https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-india-clarifies-bootloader-unlocking-does-not-void-warranty/
You must Use the fastboot version
https://mirom.ezbox.idv.tw/en/phone/joyeuse/
unzip *.tgz via winrar, 7-zip etc.
The folder with the extracted files must be on the root of a partition, otherwise there are error messages
Then switch on the cell phone via
power + volume down <---(Edit: sorry, down not up)
start in fastboot mode
- Connect phone via USB cable
- Start the MiFlash tool.
- Use "Select" to set the path to the folder or immediately paste the path previously copied in the file manager into the address bar of the flash tool.
- Select "clean all" below
- Refresh once
- now "flash" at the top right
PS:
bootloader is normally not locked again unless you select "clean and lock".
but if it should be blocked for whatever reason, that's no problem.
Once unlocked there is no longer a waiting time when unlocking again.
Simply start the "miflash unlock" tool, sign in and unlock again
Hi

Any help is appreciated
